Thanks to you in February we paid for Foscavir, an essential anti-bacterial and anti-viral medication, that helps kids to recover after bone marrow transplant. For example for Dmitry Artamonov, who is a 16-years old aspiring computer programmer from Kovrov (Vladimir region). Dmitry is fighting cancer since spring 2019, when he was diagnosed with an Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He noticed a growing bump on the back of his head, and unusual continuous fevers.
As Dmitry recollects, he then only knew about cancer from movies – “When someone is told he or she has a cancer, they feel it like a death sentence”. But his cousin who is a cancer survivor herself, assured him that childhood cancer is treatable. When admitted to Dima Rogachev Center, he was relieved: chances of victory over cancer are much higher here.
Podari Zhizn supporters have already raised more than $47 thousand for previous treatment, and thanks to you we are ready to pay for a course of Foscavir (around $12 thousand USD)
Another two patients are Zubarev Igor (8 years old) and Deynega Varvara (less than one year old).
